A new patent suggests that Apple's tinkering with the idea of turning the iPhone's home button into a joystick for gaming, but is it practical or just a cool idea? In other news, a well-known iPhone case maker shoots an iPhone 6 into the stratosphere for a demo video and a modern game developer prepares to re-release the MacVenture games from the 1980s.

Rumors about Apple's products may be fun to hear about, but they can also be disastrous for companies in competing fields even when there's probably nothing to worry about. Just ask GoPro, which saw its stock drop down after Apple won a patent pertaining to sport cameras.

CES is now behind us, but news associated with the show is still rolling in, such as how we'll need to own an Apple TV if we expect to use Siri to interact with HomeKit-compatible devices remotely.

2015 has barely started, but it's already chock full of interesting Apple happenings, including new reports of an ultrathin 12-inch MacBook Air and the long-rumored "iPad Pro."

Our first full week of the new year has come to an end, and we've decided to round it off with a breakdown of all the best Apple-related goodies on display at this year's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. (Be sure to check out the knockoff Apple Watch.) In addition, North Korea's Mac OS X clone finally leaked onto torrent sites, and it looks like Apple Pay could come to Canada soon.

In today's Apple Daily, we get a look of what sorta-possibly may be some kind of mold for the rumored 12-inch "iPad Pro" as well as a look at a new hire that could mean great things for Apple's recent ventures into enterprise. In addition, be sure to check out what Apple's doing to express its support for the victims of the Charlie Hebdo tragedy in France.

If you're still worried about how the Apple Watch will function once it's actually on your wrist but you want to be a day-one buyer, never fear: the development team who made the iOS app Pipes has made an online demo that shows how it works in practice. Elsewhere, adoption of iOS 8 continues to climb across all compatible devices, and the success of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus is pushing up Apple's smartphone market share almost everywhere.

It's hard to deny that the biggest Apple news of early 2015 is the impending launch of the Apple Watch, and guess what? There's a new rumor out there that claims to have narrowed down the release window of the highly anticipated timepiece. But that's not all — surprising new details appear to have emerged on the alleged 12-inch MacBook Air, plus there's more news on who's playing who in the upcoming Steve Jobs biopic.
